Hello, I hope you guys are doing well and having a good day.

Last night, David and I were talking about how rare it is to find a good training partner

and what actually makes a good training partner.

First thing is just someone who understands the flow, understands how to ride

two by two, move with the traffic, is not insecure in their abilities.

I think, like most things in life, insecurity causes problems.

And just someone who, you know, knows when to talk and knows one to push hard.

It's almost in, like, it's kind of hard to explain what makes a great training partner, but I probably, there are five or six people who, um, I really enjoy riding with.

And as I get older, you know, fewer and fewer people maybe. I don't know. But yeah, just

knowing how to ride and the flow of the ride, knowing when to when to stop for a coffee

or a drink and then knowing when to push harder, nothing more irritating than someone who rides like three abreast

or is constantly surging ahead,

not really understanding the proper pace of the ride.

I'm sure I'll think of some other things as the day goes on,

so maybe I'll voicemail those over to you but have a good

day and yeah glad to see also Ned that you're you're digging into some more
